Deaf Mute Episcopal Service.

The Chicago News relates how deaf
mutes OF Chicago saw the Episcopal
service and were spectators OF SER
mon:
The Episcopal service is always inn
pressive, and when it has the mantle
OF perfect silence thrown about 1t, 1T Is
particularly SO. There are about fifty
deaf mutes in Chicago, who worship
once q month in st. James's church,
Cass and Huron streets. The Rev. A.
w. Mann, himself deaf mute, who
has been nearly twelve years in the
pulpit, is the rector, his field embrac-
ing the entire country bounded by the
Aileghanies on the east, the Ohio rlv-
or on the south and Kansas ON the
west. OF the $4,000 deaf mutes in
the United States, 5000 are COM
municants in the various dioceses
which the Rev. DIR. Mann ministers to.
"Choose we this day whom We will
serve" was DIR. Mann's text. There

voices, but the noise did not disturb
the silent worshipers. Then the litany
was repeated, the congregation re-
spending in pantomime concert-no
choir, no organ, no music to stir the
soul to religious thoughts. And then
when the rector had fairly launched

with her large bible class OF young la

the discourse went on INCREASINGLY, the
fingers OF the Rev. DIR. Mann jerking
and jumping and clutchirg and gestic-
ulatins with almost lighting rapidity.
His auditors watched their movements
with the most intense interest, their
faces sometimes clouded as II listening
to the description OF some horrible
